Cooking Your Moroccan Harira Soup With Dried Chickpeas
Place chickpeas and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt inside the Instant Pot insert. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch.Put the lid on the Instant Pot, lock, and set the value to sealing (not venting) position. Set to manual pressure / high pressure for 40 – 45 minutes, depending on how old your chickpeas are. Note that you will need to cook older chickpeas longer to reach the desired softness. I recommend cooking for 45 minute the first time to see how they turn out, then adjusting as needed the next time.When cook time is finished, allow for a full natural pressure release. Remove your instant pot chickpeas and drain.
